Mr. Isaac Brock, nq Years Old Last Birtlu
I SAAC UROCK, a citizen of M<-TA>nnan
county, Texas, has lived for 119 years.
For many years he resided at Bosque
Falls, eighteen miles west of Waco, but
now lives with his son-in-law at Valley
Mills, Texas.
Seme time ago, by request, Uncle Isaac
came to Waco and sat for his picture,
holding in his hand a stick cut from the
grave of General Andrew Jackson.
Mr. Brock is a dignified old gentleman,
showing few signs of decrepitude.
His family Bible is still preserved, and
it shows that the date of his birth was
written 119 years ago.
Born before the United States were
formed.
Saw 22 presidents elected.
Pe-ru-na has protected him from
all sudden changes.
Veteran of four wars.
Shod a horse when 99 years old.
Always conquered the grip with
Pe-ru-na.
Witness in a land suit at the age
of HO years.
Believes Pe-ru-na the greatest
remedy of the age for catarrhal
troubles.
I N speaking of his good health and ex
treme old age, Mr. Brock says:
“After a man has lived in the world
as long as I have, he ought to have
found out a great many things by ex
perience. I think I have done so.
“One of the things I have found
out to my entire satisfaction is the
proper thing for ailments that are
due directly to the effects of the
climate. For 119 years I have with •
stood the changeable climate ol
the United States.
“I have always been a very healthy
man, but, of course, subject to the affec
tions which are due to sudden changes
in theclimateand temperature.
“As for Dr. Hartman's remedy,
Pe-ru-na, i have found It to be the
best, if not the only reliable remedy
for these affections. It has been
my standby for many years, and i
attribute my good health and ex
treme old age to this remedy.
“It exactly meets all my require
ments. It protects me from the evil ef
fects of sudden changes; it gives me
strength ; it keeps my blood in good cir
culation. I have come to rely upon it
almost entirely for the many little
things for which I need medicine.
“When epidemics of la grippe first be
gan to make their appearance in this

Pondfleld, Jan. 15.—We are scarce
of news to a certain extent. Not be
cause there is none, but people do
some things they don’t want to ap
pear In black and white. For In
stance: If a right dirty trick is done,
no matter the motive, some people
will defend the criminal and Incrimi
nate the innocent man. Of course I
do not say such is the case with any
around here.
I notice that School Boy thinks the
girls ought to come to see him. He
wants to rest, but does not wield his
pen in he manner that would say
“stop courting.”
There were a good many who went
to town Monday and came back
through the cold wind, which turned
their noses red as a blossom.
Bill—Say, John, do you know that
John D. Itockefeller has so much
money that he never will spend it?
John—I know, of course I know.
And I can very easily explain why.
He is like the man in a watermelon
patch, eating all he can, but they are
getting ripe faster than he can eat
them..
There will be preaching at Drayton-
ville next Saturday evening and Sun
day.
The newly married couple, Mr. and
Mrs. John Spencer, are visiting their
friends and relatives this week. They
may be trying to digest Mr. Patrick’s
words. We hope that felicity and
wealth may bless their undertakings.
Blue Bird, because I have not been
writing you need not think that I
have not revolved many a thought
about you. Of all The Ledger’s cor
respondents J. L. S. is the wisest. If
we (the other writers) get into the
mire I do not think he would say
“root pig or die.” Though he is peg
legged he can come in and tote us
out.
I would like for some of the writers
to work out the following problem
and give us the correct answer:
How many gallons ’ of molasses,

Girlhood and Scotfj Emulsion am
linked together.
The girl who takes Scoffs EmuU
sion has plenty of rich, red blood; she it
plump, active and energetic.
The reason is that at a period when a girl’s
digestion is weak, Scolfs Emulsion
provides her with powerful nourishment in
easily digested form.
It is a food that builds and keeps up a
girl’s strength.

“/ had several long sieges with

that Pe-ru-na was a remedy for
this disease. When I heard that
ia grippe was epidemic catarrh
I tried Pe-ru-na for la grippe and
found it to be just the thing. ”
In a later letter, Mr. Brock writes:

Peruna.”

gallons of the other kinds must have
been taken? , J. L. J.
A FAREWELL CHAT.
-“IS-;
A letter dated July 3,1906, written for
Mr. Brock by his wife, Sarah J. Brock,
states:
“Last winter / had Just gotten
up out of a spell of sickness, when
I commenced taking Peruna. I
think it improved my health very
much.”
In a postscript, Mrs. Brock adds: “He
receives a great many letters inquiring
about what Peruna will do. I do not
answer them all, as I think they can
get a bottle and try it,”

“Eh. no. sir; 30 shilliugs.”
“And are you in entire charge of the

No reply.
“And are you leiv'r.g us because of

Dead silence and a short pause.
